Phil's day

Hi all, the Weds Club fished its interclub match against Abbey Cross at Hall Farm club lake. I drew peg 16 - not a good peg by any means that's the draw bag for you. I made two lines: 1 in the margin, that's where I was banking on; and 1 at 12 meters at 12ft deep so not too confident at that depth; and, of course, a feeder for a bit further out. Started off feeding the various pole lines with corn and pellet in the deepest line and pellet and maggots in the margin. First hour spent on the feeder that produced a carp within 15 mins and nothing else for the rest of the day so onto my long line. This produced bites but I couldn't hook anything - my guess small roach. So onto my margins and after a hour I got another carp then a few bits but they didn't want to know. Then, in the last 30 minutes, they turned up but it was all too late - weighed in 28lbs 11oz

1st Martin Adams with 71lbs 9oz, 2nd John Carter with 56lbs 4oz, 3rd Fred Hunt with 46lbs 1oz, 4th Jeff Pearson with 40lbs 15oz and 5th Barry Cornel with 36lbs 5oz.

Abbey Cross won the day with 74 points to Bishop's Stortford's 61 points
